    If you’re fat you “chunky dunk”…u make too much of a splash to be “dipping”. :lol:

  2. I went skinny dipping last year (2008) and the girls i were with stole my suit instead of joining me like they said they would.

  3. leonard says: 146

    Soul springing and nude swimming, I should learn them both. It leads me to suggest or a look back at colonial times; when Russia also ruled part of the United States of America, and to think a vice-president was almost elected from Alaska. God be with You :wink:

  4. Marina why don’t you and your sister do a word together sometime?

  5. scrounger says: 144

    Yes, I skinny dipped in my younger days. Now I chunky dunk.

  6. darkshadow says: 143

    yes I have, is so much better then with a suit on.

    Years ago, my girlfriend and I were staying at a lake house. It was very late at night, and after a few drinks we decided to go down to the dock and go skinny dipping. We had not seen anyone else around all day so we assumed that no one was there that night. It was not a private dock. So after spending a rather festive time swimming around, we saw a boat headed into the dock. By the time we were sure the boat was headed to that particular dock, it was too late to get out of the water safely, and protect our modesty. Our only option was to hide under the dock, and hope they did not linger long. They did see the stack of clothes we had left, and after discussing why there was a pile of clothes and no people they left. We let them get safely away then got dressed and went back to the cabin.

    If it ever comes up in our lessons, I will tell the story about skinny dipping in a public pool.

  8. Of course, we were kind of hoping you would at least wear a bikini in this video. Or a monikini. Or a nadakini.

    I’ve skinny dipped twice in my life. Once in a swimming pool at night. The other time in broad daylight off the coast of Spain (Llança). It was the summer of 1992, and Barcelona was getting ready to host the Olympic Games (I also visited Barcelona on that trip). So I think my Mediterranean skinny dipping was probably a logical extension of my thinking about the Olympics.

    My father used to skinny dip on hunting trips. Some kind of hunter’s ritual, I guess.

    If you haven’t tried skinny dipping, it really is a wonderful experience. But you have to avoid the anxiety of being seen (unless you don’t care).

  9. I don’t remember if I ever went skinny dipping.
    The second thing to go when you get old is your memory I forget what the first thing is.

    i was skinny-dipping in my child days with my classmate in the small river. haha, i never had skinny dip when i am growing. i hope to have a skinny dip ,it is certainly exciting.

  11. Yes, I have skinny dipped with a girlfriend ages ago on vacation in South Carolina. Ahhh…. to be young and crazy again….

  12. tryant says: 135

    Oh yes,I skinny dipped,was years ago in a trout stream,I have a vivid memory of reaching around to Her front and —————————cool,wet —————slippery———————lived to tell the tale.

  13. animalntaz says: 134

    :sad: I never had the pleasure to do any skinny dipping. I overheard from my sister, back when we were both in high school, that she had skinny dipped with her friends. But I have always been more of the skinny, quiet type with hardly any friends.

  14. philbee says: 133

    If you’re skinny dipping in the creek,
    and something bites you on the butt cheek,
    that’s amore!

  15. n2wyj says: 132

    Shall we BLOG? What does this word really mean and what is it’s history? This is a great concept in learning, I give YOU credit.

  16. thatguy says: 131

    So what’s with the word “Testimony” :?:

  17. maghrabism says: 130

    i’d like to ask for the term – “Dude” and “Wack”

  18. booboodod says: 129

    I skinny dipped much as a child, and into young adulthood.

  19. eddies says: 128

    I’m wondering where does the word ”grief” come from ?

  20. dbllatte says: 127

    Word Request? What about “Sue” as in I think “I will sue Ben and Jerry’s for making me fat!”

  21. I’m new and only been on a time or two but I’ve noticed in this short time that there seems to be a lot of bad attitude from some folks. I know that some of this is to be expected but c’mon man! I thought this is supposed to be a fun place.
    I’m a little vexed that my gravitar aint workin yet, but hey, the fate of the universe aint hangin’ in the balance here!
    Hey capman, I think you and I are in the same neck of the woods!

  22. Hey Marina, can you investigate the term “Clean as a Whistle”? How did a whistle come to be so clean?
    Thanks

    Man there is a lot of testosteron flying around today. Maybe something to do with skinny dipping, or a lack there of. :roll:

  29. Marina says: 117

    Can you guys be a little more pleasant to others on here PLEASE???

    Every day I have people who were MAJOR contributors to the site telling me to cancel and delete their accounts!

    I appreciate you all sticking up for me… but PLEASE don’t get into flame wars with people who I enjoyed having around here..

    We lost lostforwords the other day and now someone else is leaving.

  30. I once saved a guys life at Blacks Beach in San Diego while “skinny dipping”.
    He was being pulled out to sea by a ripe tide…. Swim with the shore is the solution there… Anyway the United States Navy gave me a commendation and I had some explaining to do to the starter wife…
    Maybe I should change my screen name to “lost for words” :shock:

  31. tanathos23 says: 115

    hey Marina :!: i was watching your “bitch” video and i wondered were does the word “lewd” come from

  32. chris4782 says: 114

    Jehovah! This isn’t really a made up word, but i know it was a mispronunciation in the middle ages because most Europeans didn’t know how to pronounce Hebrew words. So the roughly translated the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH) and pronounced it Jehovah when really it’s unpronounceable because it has no vowels. My question is this, is there any other words that this has happened to in history that has stuck around like Jehovah?

    • A little strong on the come back aren’t you. I was offering a little help like most of us regulars do on this site. But if you don’t want any help then your attitude is on the wrong site. I don’t have a thing against Jews. You haven’t seen anything yet till the rest of the regulars see how you have answered my comment. :???:

      • Sorry I didnt mean to come off like a schmuck.
        I just get really sensitive when it sounds like someone is insulting my intelligence. I just seemed kind of odd that you expected me not to know the most basic definition of the word after i had said of of that. Again I’m sorry.

    • No problem, I didn’t know if you knew that was his name that is why I offered my only answer. Then someone else could pickup where I left off. By no means do I think you are not intelligent, you wouldn’t be asking such a good question as you did. I just sorry you took me wrong. Good luck with your class. Peace :cool: .

    • Sometimes the real origin of a word is buried inside it somewhere but obscured from view by change over time. If this word has been around as long as we think it has, it will have undoubtedly been subject to quite a bit of diachronism.
      All words were made up by someone, except perhaps onomatopoeic words that try to imitate the sound or action they describe (knock, sizzle, tap, jingle, crash, etc.) or echoic words that use the sound an animal makes to refer to it. And even those vary widely in different tongues and regions.
      Perhaps some diachronic etymological relationships of the separate sounds that comprise the word, regardless of its present lack of vowels, can be found. The word or parts of the word would have to be interpreted by someone fluent in Hebrew and a possible meaning derived.
      As a theology student you may answer part of the question this way: Do the separate characters in the word have individual meanings or underlying root associations? What are they, if any, and in how many different ways might they be associated &/or interpreted?
      Then look for what’s missing, if anything. Things get lost over time; letters get dropped or words become more streamlined. Whole sentences slowly turn into words, like ‘goodbye’ for example.
      Once you derive an original root or setof roots to a phrase, you’ll stand a much better chance of figuring out how old it is.

      • :!: its odd, i never asked for the origin of יהוה I was just curious if there were others that are common mispronunciations. I speak Hebrew, and as a jew and a thology student I’m sure that the only reason theyre are no vowels is because it is a sin to speak יהוה name out loud so i figured they made it have no vowels so it would be impossible.

        i know of several words that are common mispronunciations like avacato and such.

    • geronimo says: 111.5

      You said that it has no vowels because it is a sin to say the name, but It was my understanding that no ancient Hebrew words had vowels. Am I mistaken? Also, how does anyone know if it is a mispronunciation if you don’t know the correct one. My belief is that God wouldn’t have given us his name if he didn’t want us to use it, and I also believe that he has the power to make sure we have at least a close enough pronunciation for our language. All through the bible it speaks of the “sanctification of his name” How would he expect us to sanctify his name with out knowing it? I know this wasn’t your question but it brought up questions of my own.

      • Ancient Hebrew is not in question that was the case long before the Torah was written. The 4 books do have vowels, when written, in fact modern hebrew you usually don’t use vowels unless its foreign words or foreign names. But the Torah is written with the vowel points as well as other points for musical tone.

        And, it is a mispronunciation, because the letters used would not sound like “Jehovah” at all. they just got י mixed J when it sounds like Y, and they got ו mixed up with V when it sounds like W, common mistake from translation. The closest pronunciation would be close to YaHWaH.

        above all it is a mispronunciation because it is pronounced.

        side note. Jesus is a mispronunciation of יהושע which is actually pronounced Yehoshua. But that is mostly due to the fact that the christian bible was first translated to Greek where they translated יהושע to Ίησους (”Iēsous” incase you cant read Greek.)

      • 2nd note, did you know in acient writtings where Hebrew came from there wasn’t even a direction, you would just pick a spot and go, no right to left.

    • geronimo says: 111.6

      Your point about Jesus was something I was leading to. He could have been called Yeshua or Yehoshua or even something slightly different. The point is he wasn’t called Jesus, but that is typical of bible names. Moses wasn’t called moses either, and so on, but that is no reason not to use the name we are familiar with. It is true that it was commanded that Jehovah’s name was not to be used in a worthless way, but never was it written that it should not be used. It is not a sin to utter the name in a sincere way.

    • geronimo says: 111.7

      Yeah I wouldn’t if I were either. Just kidding calm down. :lol: :lol:

  35. gigiko84 says: 110

    What does the expression “The ghost in the machine” mean?

  36. Unfortunately or fortunately,this depends on the single point of view,practising skinny diping in France or in Italy(the two countries where i live most of the year) turns out to be the best cure against PRIAPISM and the best antidote for viagra …i definetely think that you can easily figure out why! So the best place for practising such a nice,healthy and pleasant activity is the open see far from the coast,diving from a boat….

  37. James says: 108

    Marina, You said you post videos when the current one reaches 24? perhaps you have already explained this, but is there a reason why YouChoose the number 24?

  38. say Hi too.” :shock:

    Personal threats?!… over the internet?!… what are you, like 13 years old? Get off it… :lol: You’re making me soooo incredibly nervous, I’ll have to pay the paperboy to start my computer in the morning, just in case you’ve wired it with C4… Ha Ha Ha Ha :lol:

    Giving you the opportunity to discuss with others your opinion on how Marina makes a living is a threat. XD !!
    Going to all the trouble to come to Her Personal Web site to complain about How She makes a living. About how upsetting it is that She should have the gal to advertise on Her videos. Makes You …what?
    You inconsequential little man ( or Lady, I should not assume you have balls ) You are not being respectful . You are being petty and small. The fact is, Marina needs to make a living and if that means She needs to put adds on Her site , Then so be it. And if some weaselly little person is disturbed by it, So be that too. You are not the first person to come here and complain about this, No, Whinning tubers come here to complain all the time. Spoiled XXXers, All about ME, ME, ME. Like this ass hole!

    Funny message to me on YouTube: ( MARINA )

    Do you really think that everyone believes you are Russian??? Its funny that your not you even prove it when you speak. If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from and you are not russian. Anyone witha good ear can hear your real accent in your voice. You are a fake and a fraud. You are damn hot Ill give you that though.

    I guess he’s figured me out! Darn! [ Marina say DAMN we will not fault you.]

    So do you see the kind of Crap She has to put up with every day. And YOU would Deny Her a paycheck????

      A reply made about how Marina conducts Her videos.
      sorry it’s in the wrong place. :roll:

    • If you’d bother to read the initial post… the ads on her SITE are no problem… its the commercials in her podcasts that are.
      I’m sure Marina feels protected from my opinion by your chest thumping and posturing… You’re a SpikeTV kind of guy.
      I’m not blocking her from making money, but part of that commerce model is going to be that people won’t put up with certain types of things.
      You want to be a kiss ass… Fine. I have balls enough to make my opinion known.
      And by the way, my comment was for Marina, her opinion of it is all that matters… not some suck-up eunuch’s.

      Buh-Bye

      • James says: 107.3.1

        I downloaded the vampire podcast and didnt see an ad? ALSO (im writing in caps now, just cos i can) YOU CAN FAST FORWARD THINGS ON IPODS ETC YOU ARE NOT FORCED TO WATCH IT :!: :!: WHY NOT WATCH IT ON HERE IF YOU ARE THAT BO (bored of caps now) thered? when you say buh-bye

        the commercials in her podcasts that are???

        And by the way, my comment was for Marina, her opinion of it is all that matters. ……..?????? Really? Now you care about want She thinks?
        It sounded like you were giving Her ultimatum, Stop or I leave!

    When a man goes skinny dipping in cold water he may get a badoinka, this is a condition due to shrinkage of the penis. The name came from the imaginary sound it would make when you flick it with your finger, ‘badoink,’ ‘badoink’

  42. lasso5 says: 102

    Hello Marina. I have a word request for the word ‘Together’. I have wondered where the word came from ever since I was a child. I mean if the words are separated it becomes ‘To get her’ which is just nonsense as the 3 words put together is not related to the word ‘Together’ in my opinion. Please enlighten me!

      People believe &/or say anything in this medium and the ignorance is either too funny or pathetic, thank God for funny ’cause pathetic sometimes seems too widespread. :neutral:

    • So the plot thickens! Fooled me M, what accent does he/ she mean? you may have picked up some local californian twang (supposing you live there that is!) – :smile: keep us guessing :cool:

      Skinny Dipping eh, yep, have a couple of stories on that subject :wink: Never one for being too easliy embarrased ended up at some massive house for drinks with a few people after the local pub. We were all butt knaked enjoying the moment. We were all having so much fun when suddenly the outside security lights went on and this old man, to boot with shot gun, shouting get out or I’ll call the police!! A wee bit lathered on booze and other things, laughed thinking it was all some kinda joke and ignored him. The boys in blue arrived, arrested us, hand cuffed us, no clothes as grumpy old man took them (guess he wanted to have a letch at the girls, or us boys if he batted that way!). Half a dozen or so of us, high as you like not a care in the world and all knaked in the back of this police wagon singing, being taken to the clink. Next day, a bit hungover, soon realised we had actualy gone into the wrong house!! Should have been the house next door as mates parents were away. The grumpy old man remembered me from the local lesuire club and showed other club members photos of us being taken away. Its amazing what cold water mixed with various intoxications can do to a mans loins!! That was a wee bit embarrasing as working in the gymnasium, all fit and body beautiful showing a somewhat, relunctant form shall we say. :oops:

      Have skinny dipped plenty of times, why not? In the West Indies once, thought I had the privacy of the beach being 4am with a girl I met only soon to realise when the sun came up we were only a few yards from a bar with most of the locals included!!! They kindly gave back my shorts and gave me freebies all day, laughing their nuts off saying something to the effect of ‘ we watch ya lil white honkey butt glowing in the moon light all night long, irie!’ Victor and Marcia (Hello :) ) the bar owners and I still keep intouch. They phone occasionaly just to laugh again and recal that night, love ‘em for that too :)

      have more but have to splash now :smile:

      be terribly naughty,
      M :smile:

    • pagedoll says: 101.7

      That is funny…guess Mr. smarty man figured it all out…well, the partys over now!…dang-it!! :wink: …funny how he implied that he knew where you were “really” from but failed to share it with the rest of the world and expose well planned ruse… :???:

    • geronimo says: 101.8

      In no way do I agree with this guy, but I have heard inconsistencies in your accent. I have just chalked that up to going back and forth between languages. He gives too much credit, because I don’t believe anyone could fake a Russian accent as well as you do, if you were indeed faking. I am glad you can let stupid comments slide off your back. I wish I could.

    • He also forgot to mention that you faked the GT4 (Molotov Cocktail) video which was over dubbed by Borat (that’s a nice) and that you faked the pictures from Russia and you faked trying to pronounce “video”. Dang your good.

      Hey, newbies, I am kidding….

      Thanks Marina for sharing that with us. That was precious.

      • I was thinking the same thing. That Marina has spoken Russian on several videos. As for accents, I speak both English and French, and sometimes one can influence the other when jumping back and forth. To opine that Marina is not Russian is just ludicrous.

    • Please say moose and squirrel just one time for us. :smile:

    • Quote from confused YouTuber – “You are damn hot Ill give you that though.”

      Response – It is very hard to disagree with the sentiments of that statement, but the grammar could be improved upon. Marketing potential for ‘whitesmoke’ :grin:

      • The rest of what the person says is logically upside down.

        e.g “If you really are into Linguistics, then your viewers would know where you really come from”

        I would have thought, that it would be the knowledge of the viewers about accents, that would determine where they thought Marina came from.

    • First time I went to the US, getting through customs was difficult.
      I didn’t understand the officer’s accent and she didn’t understand mine.
      But we were both speaking English, I think? :grin:

  44. i asked for this word before i would like to k :shock: :shock: now about { wow } from where its come from ? please : :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

  45. errin says: 99

    Back in my mid-20’s I had a skinny dip with two female friends of mine. That may sound hot, but it was all quite platonic. Being nude is the natural state for people, after all… :grin:

    dont you just love her accent, i want a russian girl too :mrgreen:

  49. By the way Marina !
    Do you know that men swimming naked on their back can see their little bird litterally trying to fly away.
    I think it’s because tweetwee is fat and a fat tweetwee is lighter than any other part of the body. :mrgreen:

    Hello, everyone! Here is half naked felicity from the tropical Japan. Speaking of having to do with skin, have you ever seen a steaking anywhere in public? or have you done that? Anyone?

    I would LOVE to see a picture of Marina skinny dipping!!!!!!!!!

    • capman911 says: 93.1

      I don’t know if I would or not. It would take all of the mystery out of what she looks like now. I like a woman with a little bit of cloths on so you can wonder what the rest looks like. :wink: :smile:

      • Bob says: 93.1.1

        What ROT! Mystery!
        There is no mystery any more, as you can find out by buying any top shelf magazine – there can’t even be anyone left in the world who thinks that Chinese girls have a horizontal smile instead of a vertical one.
        A woman’s mystery is between her ears – that’s what is fascinating about them.

      • When I was in high school my friends brother streaked through the cafeteria with a bag over his head, but everyone knew who it was anyway and he got caught. Very funny though. He just got suspended for a few days.

      • I don’t know why my story posted here instead of the previous streaking comments. Oh well.

  52. Marina, this is the best funny story that i could come up with.

    When i was 2 i went skinny dipping in the sea and rock-pools and a crab pinched my…… well, you get the idea.
    So i :cry: and i :cry: and i :cry:
    cause it hurt bad

  53. Skinny dipping is dangerous around this area of the world, too many big alligator snapping turtles! I’ve seen a big one that a friend caught, snap a broomstick clean in two! Whoa . . . makes you stop and think!
    Could it be that “shrinkage” that occurs when swimming is a natural defense against snappers and other hungry denizens of the deep?

    What does “MAXIM” mean?

    Why would a radio station or magazine call itself: MAXIM Rado or MAXIM Magazine?

    I am looking forward to my trusty Hotforwords to investigate this mystery and let her inquiring students know.

    I am not an English speaker. I had more unsuccessful attempts to learn. But you Marina convinced me to strive.
    I hope my forthcoming comments to be more accurate.

  57. heyy

    Minions? Am I a minion?

    I always look forward to your new videos. When I am out working in the back of my property, where I have a pond. Many times I will strip down and take a dip. After a long hot day working outside it is so refreshing to swim (skinny dipping) for a while.

  60. I haven’t done skinny dipping yet. Should try it though. :-)
    Ok. so a word request:
    Pet Peeves

    Wonder what the origin of that word is?

  61. angiewangie says: 81

    Can you do the word “dulcimer” for me?

    Thank you Miss Marina :)

  62. lostinhere says: 80

    Yes, I have beeen skinny dipping. But I don’t have a ‘G’ rated skinny dipping stories. :wink:

  63. bobsully says: 79

    We would be skinny dip all the time in my youth. It was thought of as more natural than naughty. :smile: I run into a friend at class reunions and the like, and it is always one of the first things she wants to talk about. Lots of swimming holes and creeks growing up. Not so many funny memories as those of simpler, more carefree times.

  64. I must say I am a dirty French. One day, er, several times I swam naked in the sea and…I…made my poo…
    I must say it’s very funny because suddenly you feel less alone swimming because of course a poo is not a submarine and must breathe. :mrgreen:

    Who is to say the North is top or bottom?

    A small outfit you may have heard of, called the British Empire. Back in the day they came up with all sorts of wierd ideas about stuff, although to be fair, they weren’t the first to come up with the idea. Another good one was ‘terra nullius’, ‘land belonging to no-one.(No-one important at least.)

    Does Hotforwords discuss the political aspects of words very often? It’s pretty interesting, although it would make for longer videos.

  66. tedt says: 75

    What about the most spoke Russian word ? I think you know which I mean, they say it after each sentence…..”plet”…or how it gets written.

    I ate homemade Piraschki once, realy tasty…..for the fact that it is a Russian meal :wink: :mrgreen: (stomp her :lol: )
    I guess I stood up with the wrong foot :cry: :oops:

  67. Dearest Teacher;
    I’m so sorry, I used to love your podcast, the content was always interesting and you, of course, are gorgeous; however, the increasing encroachment of advertising (most especially for that low-brow, lame SpikeTV excuse for a comedy, ‘Factory’) has left me annoyed and disappointed.
    I understand that you have ads on your site, that is common practice, but these podcast ads take away my time and enjoyment of your content.
    If they continue… I will be forced to un-subscribe to HotForWords.
    Sorry, nothing personal, it’s just business.
    Yours respectfully: radiofreekrypton.
    PS. If you wish to contact me, you have my e-mail on file

    • Wow, radio-FREEkryton.
      I’m so sorry, …….. YoUr So DiSplEaSeD ……….XD
      , ” If they continue… I will be forced to un-subscribe to HotForWords. Sorry, nothing personal, it’s just business.”
      :twisted: Yours respectfully: radiofreekrypton. :evil:

      :roll: podcast ads take away MY time and enjoyment :roll:
      the increasing encroachment of advertising ie Your need to make a living and pay your Bills is not important to me as long as you give up your time to make me Happy. (most especially for that low-brow, lame SpikeTV excuse for a comedy, ‘Factory’) has left me annoyed and disappointed. ME ME and ME! Enough about ME Lets talk about what you think about ME!
      :lol: PS. If you wish to contact me, you have my e-mail on file :lol:
      No I do not have youR email, give it to me and I will drop you a line :twisted:
      And Maybe some of the other fellas would like to say Hi too.

        didn’t see you in my rearview mirror, use your horn. ah nevermind…

      • James says: 74.1.2

        Out of Marinas many subscribers do you think losing one would really make a huge difference?

      • roadrunrnch

        Listen pal… MY opinion was given respectfully and without malice.
        Whether you like it OR NOT its my opinion and it will be voiced (in this case written).
        No, you moronic Jack-Hole, I don’t think that losing one subscriber will make a damns bit of difference to Marina, and I only wish her continued success; but I also believe that anyone who is producing a product of any kind wants, nay, NEEDS to understand the needs and opinions of those people how are patrons of said product.

        Oh, and by the way you pissy little flame jockey…

        “No I do not have youR email, give it to me and I will drop you a line :twisted:
        And Maybe some of the other fellas would like to say Hi too.”

        Personal threats?!… over the internet?!… what are you, like 13 years old? Get off it… :lol: You’re making me soooo incredibly nervous, I’ll have to pay the paperboy to start my computer in the morning, just in case you’ve wired it with C4… Ha Ha Ha Ha :lol:

        To James:
        In media, one person who takes the time and effort to write in is counted as 1000 listeners or viewers who don’t, can’t or won’t take the time to do so.
        Whether you like it or not… I’m NOT alone.
        I just took the time to speak up.

      • James says: 74.1.4

        Is there some way you can kick idiots like this off. Whats threatening?? Maybe some people might like to say hi. Thats hardly threatning. Jeez lighten up about it. Your not alone.. ? .. urm.. yes…yes you are

    • BillyB says: 74.2

      I don’t get the podcast, so what happens?
      The ads. on the site here, I don’t even see, well except the “White Smoke”, wouldn’t want to lose that one. The annoying & disappointing stuff??? can’t you block it? just wondering, what’s with the podcasts…
      The advertising keeps things moving forward & paid for, although they might not be to my taste, somebody else is paying for my education. So I’m cool with any ads…almost any.

    • I’m confused when you say “just business”.
      sounds more like a personal preference.
      you could always get Reify Turnabout!
      blocks page ads quite well. kills banners, too
      and it’s programable if you want to keep
      seeing ads like Whitesmoke (scripting).
      get proactive, don’t just complain! :mrgreen:
      PEACE

    • geronimo says: 74.4

      I like spike TV, so how many 1000’s do I represent? plus all the others who bothered to respond? You won’t be missed.

    • Sir, Stain of Crap,
      My reply is up on Marinas site.
      You will need to look for it .
      But come on Bi-
      3Rs :grin:

  68. gnice says: 73

    I sent one of your videos to a female friend and she responded saying
    Thats Porn! I tried to tell her otherwise and then wondered if you have ever investigated the word pornography (not according to your list). It might be interesting !I could even send it to her.

    When I was about 6, my grandpa and uncle made a bet centered around if I could float in a 5 gallon bucket… :???: Still having a full days work to do on the farm, my grandpa wouldn’t let me get wet and muddy and climb in his equipment to tag along so skinny it was. Needless to say, the bucket tipped quickly after stepping into it off the deck starting skinny dipping experience #1.

  70. chief says: 71

    Skinnydipping on Waikiki at 4am on Jan 19, 1971 and getting arrested by 5/0 and having to get bailed out by the CO,,,you don’t understand what I said most likely but we were having fun and the CO was having fits. Just back from “warzone” and short timered, the careing part of our characters was lost (likely forever) and…finding out clothes left somewhere on the beach at that time was tedius to say the least, and fun. The folks at 5/0 HQ were not amused but put up with us…long story short we are all still here and living fine.

    I have a cedar canoe & it could tell some stories, bought it not long after highschool finished. Lots of lakes explored & found some pretty remote places to swim in my skin… with my, now wife, Mary.
    We were also environmentaly concious, before it was popular, as we cruised around some lakes we would pretty much fill the canoe with discarded beer bottles that floated along the waterline, must have been a habbit in the day to chuck the empties into the water. We helped fund our Honeymoon with the returns. We have a pool now & although skinny dipping is discouraged in our neighbourhood, there has been the odd occasion, when no kids were around & the neighbourhood was evacuated, as it were, the pool would then becon us to dipp, although skinny no more… still fun & the trees around the pool have a privacy rating that is quite excellent.
    …I must check that old canoe out for leaks soon & do some more exploring with my wife. Thanks again for the nice little vid. & y’know, your videos stir up imagination as well as memories which lead to ideas, which for me are…blank… ahha i have an Idea, gtg. Cheers

    Hi Marina, I happened to watch one of your video on UTube. It was interesting. you have a way of delivering the message and it is superb. Good luck.

    Also I would like to know where does the word “catamaran” came from?

    Thanks in advance..

    soori

  73. Yes, and they sure knew how to do it back then! :razz:

  74. bobbuckaroo says: 67

    Hello, where does the word “moonshine” come from?

    • From The Southern States of USA, as for the meaning of the word, hmmm i think i know but I won’t of course tell you because I don’t want to take a word from Marina if she wants to do it, however I would like to know myself, if nothing else to just find out if I am right or if I am not then I want to know. Even cooler would be to make a game out of it! If so, I could tell Marina my theory to be one of the possibilities! :) Marina, if you do a game of Moonshine, ask me my theory!!! :)

    • geronimo says: 67.2

      It’s almost as obvious as Bootleg, but it may be fun since a lot of people don’t know.

  75. This is SO funny! LMAO!
    I read a comment and then
    see the default Gravatar,
    and it’s like a Rorschach
    test! “What do you see?”

  76. jalumora says: 65

    the skinny dipping was back on fashion in the late 60’s with the hippie way, one of the things that they promoted was to be in contact with the nature since they were going back to the origins; and skinny dipping is more for women than for men since there is any real moral rule against a man swimming naked

  77. labbatt78 says: 64

    Skinny dipping is not my thing. I love hanging out in the spa my uncle has.
